We have a friend who had a new house built with air pump heating, could not get warm and sold the house after just two winters.
It’s impractical to retrofit an old house, you would need to replace windows, completely insulation, cavity walls, loft, floor, the hardest thing is to stop all drafts. The money would best spent on a good solar system.
I think anyone with the availability, or the contacts, to get free or cheap timber should just get a woodburner asap, don’t forget you can also cook on one.
